Snyder's popularity plummeted after a controversial right-to-work law was hustled through the Michigan Legislature and signed last December, though his numbers have recovered somewhat. In promotional videos, Snyder calls the law "freedom-to-work."

Michigan voters face a huge ballot a little over a year from now. They'll vote for U.S. Senate, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, all 148 members of the state House and Senate, members of Congress, some judicial seats and local township offices.
